Legendary is a command-line replacement for the Epic Games Launcher. It lets you authenticate with your Epic Games account, download and install games, sync cloud saves, and launch titles — all from the terminal without installing the official launcher. It runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and supports running Windows games on Linux and macOS via Wine or CrossOver.Documentation Index
